not enough to make the internal slave

OF SEVENTH ST. N. W.

After spending several years manufacturing
clothing in Baltimore, | have returned TO
Washington and located at D@i 7th st. n. W,
where shall bo pleased to see all my old
friends and customers, and as many new ones
ms desire to get the best made anu trimmed
clothing at lowest prices. Our motto Is the
best goods at lowest prices. Wear one good
for year; II they don't turn out as we recon
mend, you can have your money. We don't
want your money without giving you an hon
est dollars worth of goods for every dollar
yon pay us. We do want your custom, aud
We do want your influence in sending Others
TO us. We desire to build up as large trade
as We had here when serving you with cloth
ing. We did not leave Washington before be-
cause We had to, but our stores were located
below T, on ;th st., and they graded the
street and left our floors just seven feet above
the pavement. The landlord was In Paris.
Business had been forced of the streets for
months owing to the deep cuts on + ST., and
on 9TH st. we could get no store to suit US at
that time In the city, ana was forced to move
ont. leaving splendid business SILL the
march of improvements demanded the grad.
ing of the streets, and individual losses could
not stand In the way of public improvements.
1t was great loss to me; but the system OF
pubic improvements tHeU lnuuguEdlcl HAS
made Washington n beautiful city, and am
mere to stay now, and TO sell the best cloth
Ing In the city. Who of the older residenters
does not remember Smith, the clothier, of 9TH
st., the original oak, Hall clothiery Not a
man, woman or child but knew the store. We
We're then among the four leading clothlers
and tailors of the city-Wall, stephens s. Co,
Noah Wall or & Co, odeon Hall and Smiths
We're the places then. We intend to make
Smith the place again..
While we are a little farther up Seventh
street than we desired, we could not secure
a store lower down. Our rents are lower, and
We can sell cheaper, better clothing, at lower
prices the result of low expenses. We are
now OF ening the early or advanced style of
best Tailor Made Clothing for Men, Boys and
children. We have all grades and qualities,
and we want your trade.i Mems. Suits from
50 to $40, Boys, $3.50 to $40, and Chidren's
Suits from $3.50 up to 81. We have special
drive in a thousand pairs Of Knee Pants; ages

the fact that wild ostriches are found
upon the desert it is supposed by some
that they can live upon pebbles or moth
ing, when in reality they require as good
food as other birds. The young birds do
not begin to lay until they are four years
old, and are not considered "prime" In
til they have made a record of from forty
to seventy chicks a year for four or
five successive years. Such birds then
bring high prices, the amount of money
made from them in plumes and young at
the end of ten years being in many cases
quite a snug little sunni fact, many of
the wealthiest ostrich men in Africa
commenced with only two birds, their
rapid increase, explaining the suddenly
acquired wealth of the men. This and
the fact that the birds live for nearly 100
years, and are known to breed
after they are eighty, shows the valuable
nature of the business.
The p%lucking time is of great interest,
and many persons go down from Los
Angeles at this time to see the opera
ton, which takes place every seven or
